Can I use Medicare while I travel overseas? How can I purchase medical insurance for Italy? |
||
| An
expat health insurance plan will provide you with medical cover in
Italy and any other country you may visit worldwide. Expat
health insurance plans are normally purchased when residing
outside of your home country and are designed for those living and
traveling overseas. If you decide to relocate to another country, or
return to your home country, your expat health insurance plan can
travel with you, affording you with flexibility to meet your changing
needs.
Government sponsored medical insurance schemes, such as Medicare, will not normally cover medical expenses outside of the country which sponsors it. As such, you will not be able to use your Medicare benefits when you travel outside the USA. If your CIGNA health insurance policy offers international coverage, including Italy, you may be entitled to your CIGNA plan benefits when traveling in Italy. However if you have a CIGNA plan that offers treatment in your country region only, then it is unlikely that your CIGNA policy can be used outside the USA. 2012-01-06 16:26:40 |
